Hi all,
I am a refugee from Open Suse 11.2, which appears uninstallable on my laptop due to never-ending ATI graphics-related crashes.
Open Suse has YAST for adding software and seems to do a good job at finding the latest versions of software. However with Ubuntu 9.10, I tried to get Opera browser installed, but the Synaptics Package Manager seems unable to find a source for it.
Also, I installed Wine from the terminal, and it installed fine, but it was a very old version.
So this tells me that I need to add some better software repos. If this is indeed the case, does anyone have a list of reputable repos I can add, and could you you also tell me how to add them. Thanks in advance!
